This is selfre faster go ahead -evident to those modern day hitchhikers who, regardless of being told to be afraid, are still courageous enough to take to the road. You don't have to pick up a hitchhiker - they've chosen to be on the road - but if you do[[User:N0id|N0id]] 14:14, it can prove to be a very positive experience! Here five reasons to pick up hitchhikers 16 July 2012 (or five excuses not toCEST).
'''''”I just go a short distance”'''''====Ready made articles====Many of us behind Find in the wheel are not aware of the fact that a five-kilometer distance equals link below some material to one hour of walking. Usually a hitchhiker is happy help you talk to go even a short distance. Maybe there is a better spot where the hitchiker gets the next long ride, thanks to youmedia entities and stuff like that.
'''''”I don't really have time[[Hitchgathering/space”'''''Outside the White Nights of the Northern hemisphere summer, daylight is the most precious asset to a hitchhiker. Mind you, a human being approaching you on a dark gas station is no different from a day-time traveler. A hitchhiker doesn't mind going fast and a travel buddy doesn't slow you down. A hitchhiker doesn't require luxury neither. Just a small space to sit will suffice because most are traveling light. And on a long journey you can ask your fellow traveler to take the wheel as long as they have had enough rest and are in a possession of a valid driver's license.2012/News|Media talk]]

Many enjoy having a hitchhiker so much that, after the ride, they invite him for a bite or even to lay down his head. For some a Facebook friendship will suffice. Others confide to a hitchhiker so openly that they prefer to end the therapy session at the end of the ride. In any case, you are no longer strangers once the car comes to a halt. The driver decides the limitsBeing done by Bea and [[User: whether we should go in deep conversations and get to know each other profoundly, or whether it is better to talk about the weather and to listen to the radio.Mikael|Mikael]]
